Mutukula Community Development Organization (MCDO) is a legally registered, community-rooted nonprofit initiative headquartered in Mutukula, Kyotera District, Uganda, near the southern border with Tanzania. Officially established in 2020 and recognized by the Uganda NGO Bureau under Registration No. 599/20), MCDO operates across four key villages located in three districts - Kyotera, Rakai, and parts of Lwengo - serving a population of approximately 15,000 people from about 2,000 families
Our mission is to empower underserved communities - especially vulnerable children, women, persons with disabilities, and families affected by displacement and disease - through sustainable, people-centered development. We address systemic poverty by focusing on four strategic pillars: Education, Health, Economic Empowerment, and Environmental Sustainability.
MCDO was founded by Fr. Vincent Mwebe, a Catholic priest with pastoral and educational leadership experience whose personal journey is deeply rooted in the local community. The inspiration for MCDO traces back to Mijuma Village in 2014, when Fr. Vincent’s father, the late Mr. Peter Kitatta, donated four acres of land to establish the area’s first nursery school - launched in a makeshift classroom block - simple yet symbolic of their belief in a better future. Despite the community’s hopes, the initiative quietly declined a few years later due to financial constraints and the lack of sustaining support.
“Work without play makes Dan a dull boy”. MCDO also seeks to support Children and Youths games and sporting activities to produce a holistic citizen of the nation. Your contributions towards games and sports will provide young stars and youth’s easy access to games and sporting activities, supplies and facilities by MCDO team.
